Week 9 – Dwayne Bowe vs. New York Jets
This is an unbelievably tough bye week at the wide receiver position. Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Roddy White, Julio Jones, Sammy Watkins, Golden Tate, and Calvin Johnson are all off this week. Many owners are going to be looking for help. In some leagues, Dwayne Bowe may be a free agent. With many teams, he has been riding the bench for awhile. Can he be trusted in this time of need?
The answer is yes and no. The Jets have given up a staggering 22 touchdown passes in eight games. But Bowe hasn't scored a touchdown all season. Will he likely get you some points? Yes, but he hasn't broken 100 yards in awhile. If you are desperate for someone with game-changing potential, don't start Dwayne. If you merely need some points and a player who probably won't embarrass you, he's an okay WR3.
